Chapter 1 The Lonely Smoke of the Desert
In the desert of the Western Regions, in the vast heaven and earth, only a desolation and loneliness remained, and it seemed that this was a world cut off from life and by death.
As far as the eye can see, under the lonely smoke of the desert, there is a vast yellow sand, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction, only the arrogant scorching sun shines on every corner of this region equally.
Looking down, only between the yellow sand in the sky, a series of long footprints can be faintly seen, just like ants slowly on the ground, leaving insignificant traces.
But in a moment, under the blowing of the hot wind, the vaguely visible footprints faded away, as if no one had ever come.
Who knows how many dry bones turned into dust under the yellow sand.
The yellow sand is pervasive, and there are three figures, which are vaguely recognizable.
When this group of figures approached, the leader of them was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a thin face and a slight protrusion of his bones, but his every step was extremely stable and flat, and behind him was a man with half of the mask, but the other half of his face was extremely pale, revealing an unhealthy blood, as if he was annoyed by the scorching weather, his steps were a little hurried, and the one who fell behind was Wu Wei, who was wrapped in black gauze, with beads of sweat on his face one drop after another.
"Bah!" A gust of wind blew, Wu Wei frowned, and spat out a mouthful of yellow sand.
Looking at the yellow sand in the sky and the road ahead with no end in sight, Wu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, they had been traveling in this desert sea for two whole days.
Under the desolation, there is a faint sense of indescribable boredom.
"It's hot. Wu Wei rolled his eyes, stopped, and fanned himself desperately, but there was only a thick heat in the air.
"Hurry up, if you try to play any tricks, be careful that I'll kill you right away." Looking at Wu Wei's stopped footsteps, Feng Lingxiao turned his head and said coldly, "You must know that the reason why you were able to survive is entirely because you know how to use the relationship between the two green Buddha lanterns, if you have no use value, see how I deal with you." β
Wu Wei glanced at Feng Lingxiao and said goodbye: "Don't worry, I haven't thought about it so much, don't say that my seal power is sealed by you at the moment, even if it is not sealed, you have four seals and three seals, it is not easy to catch me." β
"But I said that you are a master of the three seals, but you are not as good as me as a kid who can't even build a seal foundation, it seems that you still have to practice more. Wu Wei said with a hippie smile, but he saw Feng Lingxiao kicking him hard.
"Hey, if you kick it again, be careful and I'll fall to the ground. Wu Wei flashed the kick that rushed straight at him and glared fiercely at Feng Lingxiao.
"You!" Feng Lingxiao's heart was on fire, and his raised right hand was just halfway there, as if he had thought of something, he pressed it down again, and said coldly, "You want to use the radical method on me, naΓ―ve." β
Wu Wei pursed his lips with an indifferent expression.
"Quiet!" Not far away, Xiao Luoqing's voice came into the minds of the two, the two quickly stopped bickering, and quietly followed Xiao Luoqing's side, but they saw dozens of sand dunes not far away, which were slowly moving at the moment, and a sandstorm-like air column rose into the air, and then several huge sand dunes flowed like waves, slowly speeding up, but after a while, they didn't seem to find anything, and then fell silent again.
"Is it a desert worm?" Wu Wei asked in a low voice.
Xiao Luoqing nodded slightly, signaling the two to be quiet.
Wu Wei also knew for the first time that there were such strange creatures in the strange desert sea under his feet, and when he saw the appearance of this desert worm for the first time, he almost vomited out the overnight meal in disgust.
After a few moments, the moving sand dunes finally stopped moving, and the desert worms were extremely sensitive to loud sounds and the flow of SCP, which is why they forbade the use of SCP in the desert.
The further down the desert went, the more numerous and larger the desert worms became, and they had already encountered no less than three waves this afternoon alone.
Death Sand Sea, since Wu Wei was arrested, it was already the third day, Mulan Shuo did not enter the Sand Sea with them, according to Xiao Luoqing's instructions, she was responsible for leading the direction of Qingyuanmen's reconnaissance, plus according to her words, entering the desert or something was really bad for the skin, so she decisively refused.
Sure enough, for Mulan Shuo, skin or something is more important than life and death.
Chai Chai in his arms arched Wu Wei, revealing a small face to breathe, and the thick fur of the sound made Chai Chai know what it meant to be miserable hot, so he simply hid in Wu Wei's arms and didn't come out.
The movement of the desert slowly stopped, and Wu Wei and the others set off again.
Although a desert worm may not be nothing, but this place is the territory of the desert worm after all, if you encounter a group of desert worms, then you will know what is the trouble.
"In front is a rocky area where we temporarily repaired in the evening. Xiao Luoqing looked at the map in his hand, and then looked at the flying sand and dust in the sky.
"Well, it's nice to be able to rest. Wu Wei squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at the scorching sun in the sky, and then took a sip of the kettle and handed the kettle to the firewood in his arms.
At this moment, Chai Chai was no more than the size of a palm, obediently lying in Wu Wei's arms, constantly sticking out his tongue, with a helpless face.
Hawkers, it's this fluffy, it's so hot that Wu Wei can't wait to shave Chai Chai's hair for him.
After a while, the sun finally set, and the temperature in the entire desert began to drop suddenly, turning into ice, in the center of this desert, the temperature at night can even reach three or four degrees, of course, it does not have much impact on people like Wu Wei and them who have been trained for a long time.
It's better to be colder, Chai Chai stuck out his tongue, and looked at the two of them vigilantly from time to time, and naturally it couldn't escape the treatment of being sealed and sealed.
"Senior Xiao, where are we going?" Wu Wei quickly overtook Feng Lingxiao and kept up with Xiao Luoqing's footsteps, "This place is so big, why don't you just use the flying one, so what you want to find will be clear at a glance, and it will be so troublesome to find it like this." β
"Do you know where this is?" Xiao Luo said without looking back.
"Somewhere in the East and the West. β
Wu Wei thought about it, if you look at the big map in his memory, most of them are in XJ or more west, but no matter how you look at it, the heat of this desert is different from the cognition, not to mention the so-called desert worms, which are impossible creatures on the earth.
"That's right, but this Western Regions is very different from what you know. In the past, after the well of gods and demons came, it took root and buried deep on this planet, and now, there have been more than twenty rifts, and the creatures near the rifts will be eroded by the gods and demons that slowly emit the dead air, and finally become the nourishment of the well of gods and demons. β
"That means that the desert worms we saw earlier are the embodiment of the creatures that originally lived in this area. Wu Wei suddenly seemed to think of something, "Could it be that what we are going to now is the entrance to a well of gods and demons." β
Xiao Luoqing didn't answer, but the gaze in his eyes swept coldly from Wu Wei's body, and he could see that Wu Wei's whole body was hairy.
The reason why Xiao Luoqing left Wu Wei was not only that Wu Wei could perfectly control the Green Buddha Lantern, but also that he wanted to know why Wu Wei could control the Green Buddha Lantern so perfectly. It's just that Wu Wei didn't know anything, so he just put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Even if he searched all the things on his body, it was just a broken Qiankun bag, and there was nothing else worth intriguing in it except for a few pitiful quality pill weapons.
"Hehe, that's fine, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. β
Hairy all over his body that was seen by Xiao Luoqing, Wu Wei spread his hands and gradually fell behind him.
